the wiki quote was just a convenient source for the standard definition of 'mathematical proof'. the same definition applies to physics (physics and chemistry all turn into math in the end anyway) only the variables are much much more. as such, one could postulate that any 'law' of physics is never truly proven and is always waiting for the one exception that destroys the rule. possible? who knows. until then they remain the 'best guesses' we have. my point is that we don't treat these things as best guesses subject to change, but rather as laws and rules and how things are so accept it. someone wants to break the speed of light? i say go for it; let me know how you make out.
apologies for hung-over rambling, hack-science gobbledygook, and any hijack that may have occurred as a result!
